Hidden, the real you
Sheltered from cold indignation
The ego of others on display
Targeted weakness of the world
Leveraged against your innocence
That was bent of stealing your humanity
Dimming your light
In waves of hatred
And demonization
Bullying your true self
Robbing you of the spark of divinity
Designed to destroy your light
To make you resemble the darkness
That chokes the life out of the world
Until hope vanishes
Life becomes endless days of pain
And… your reality becomes hell
Leaving the innocence of your beginning
Unrecognizable in the end
As you stare into the mirror
At the thing you have become.
